One of the things the kids love the best at the cabin is riding 4-wheelers. This year, Grandpa and Grammie let the oldest three drive (with them on it of course). That was a big hit, but the kids only drove 10 miles an hour, so that was a little slow for the rest of us.
There are so many trails that we can drive on when we are at the cabin. This one that we went on went through a part of the forest that had been burned a couple of years ago.
After a particularly dusty drive, I look like the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins.
Michael barely fared much better- check out the ring around his lips. He always gets the most chapped lips while we are visiting the cabin- a combination I think of the arid weather and his constant licking them.
Once Joe came, we drove a little faster.
There are groves of birch trees there that are so pretty.
One day, while we were driving, one of the 4-wheelers started overheating. It had to be pulled back to the cabin, luckily, it was all downhill.
The view from the top of the mountain. I think that is Yankee Lake you can see in the distance.
There are sheepherders that use the mountain too, so a couple of times we rode through the middle of the sheep herd.
This was by far the kids favorite part of the ride. I think if they could have skipped the nature part of the ride in favor of just getting ice cream, they may have done so.
The kids are getting so big, and there are only 2 four wheelers and a razor....one of these years we are all going to have to take turns!
